China and the United States are heading toward a war neither wants. The reason is Thucydides’s Trap: when a rising power threatens to displace a ruling one > violence is the likeliest result. Over the past five hundred years > these conditions have occurred sixteen times; war broke out in twelve. Today > as an unstoppable China approaches an immovable America > and both Xi Jinping and Donald Trump promise to make their countries “great again > ” the seventeenth case looks grim. A trade conflict > cyberattack > Korean crisis > or accident at sea could easily spark a major war.
In Destined for War > eminent Harvard scholar Graham Allison masterfully blends history and current events to explain the timeless machinery of Thucydides’s Trap—and to explore the painful steps that might prevent disaster today.
